What a busy day! First The SBS/FRO-GIDG Team Stopped by the NFL Play 60 Event in Central Park, where we interviewed some of the Top Draftees (9 are here-the most since 1996), but we couldn't get to them all. We did Visit with Brian Cushing, and Eugene Monroe (both NY area local Products), as well as Mike Ohler, Matt Stafford, Josh Freeman, and Jason Smith.

All spoke to the youth in attendance at the event to "Stay in School, Eat Healthy, listen to your Parents, and Get 60 minutes of activity play a day."

Next stop was the EA Sports Madden 2010 event, which we attended to get interviews with Matt Cassel, Brandon Jacobs, Ray Lewis, and Larry Fitzgerald (their Photos above as well). Our last stop was at the Photo op. where the future draftees and NFL.com's Gil Brant were on top of the Radio City Marque. Some of our off the top impressions from the interviews: Matt Stafford knows he will be playing in he NFL, and it doesn't matter to him where, as long as it gets done tonight (and it has, Stafford will be the first overall selection with a 78 million dollar contract from the Lions according to ESPN.com). More on this later today as all the details are made available to us.

At the Ea Sports Draft event, Fitzgerald spoke about how he hoped Anquan Boldin reconsidered his trade request, as he felt the Cards were ready for another run towards post season. Brandon Jacobs echoed the same feelings."the Giants are not a team under construction, we are already built to win" he told us. Ray Lewis told us when he talks to young players coming out in the draft and they ask for advice he tells them to "make sure they act wisely with their newfound wealth."

It was a long Day and the Next two will be longer.



Our Audio interviews will be up after the weekend, but enjoy these photos for now.
